HI

How can I change the parent link from Product category, so every time I stand on one product page it will look like this:

http://homepage/index.php/alias/categories/something

instead of this: http://homepage/index.php/something

In the Manufacturers it looks right, like this:

http://homepage/index.php/alias/manufacturers/something

Kind Regards
Thomas

Hello,

Why you don't just publish some joomla menu items for this??

Make a joomla menu item named "alias" and select the virtuemart frontpage
Make a menu item under "alias" named "categories" and linked it to nothing (externak link - link:#)
Make a menu item under "categories" with one of your categories name and named "my category 1"

Did you try that?

btw, this is related to joomla menu items, please read some more thing about joomla and how is working under docs.joomla.org

This is nothing to do with Joomla menu's.

I have made to Modules for the menu in virtuemart. One for Category and one for Manufacturers.

I have use VirtueMart Category type for my Category and VirtueMart Manufacturers type for Manufacturers.

Now my Question is, how can I get "VirtueMart Category type" to link to the Categories the same way as  VirtueMart Manufacturers type does??

VirtueMart Manufacturers type = http://my-site/index.php/brands/manufacturers/and-the-name

VirtueMart Category type = http://my-site/index.php/something-name

and I want it to be: http://my-site/index.php/product/category/and-the-name

Is that possible?
